Arrived


We have arrived. Its still our first week at La Cite des Insectes. We are overwhelmed by the beauty of our surroundings and by the amount of work we have to do to make this place ready for opening in April.

Our journey here was more eventful that we would have liked. We had a snow storm and a tempest. We got lost going round Paris, found many interesting corners of Versaille. Later, my van lost power and started drinking fuel like global warming was a myth, and I had to take the next exit to find a petrol station. It was the middle of nowhere, and Regine (following behind in the second van) started flashing her headlights because she thought I'd lost my marbles. We found a petrol station and a small restaurant - special. The whole journey from Calais to La Cite took from 8:30am until midnight.
